The Foundation
We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.
The TeamOur Global Health (GH) Program harnesses advances in science and technology to save lives in poor countries. We focus on the health problems that have a major impact in developing countries but get too little attention and funding. Where proven tools exist, we support sustainable ways to improve their delivery. Where they don’t, we invest in research and development of new interventions, such as vaccines, drugs, biologics, and diagnostics. Our work in infectious diseases focuses on strategies to fight and prevent HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, enteric and diarrheal diseases, and pneumonia. These strategies are supported by functional and cross-cutting teams that focus on Discovery & Translational Sciences, Vaccine Development, Surveillance, Integrated Development, Diagnostics, and Innovation Introduction.
With a focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the Pneumonia & Pandemic Preparedness (PPP) Team aims to 1) accelerate the reduction in childhood deaths from pneumonia, meningitis, and neonatal sepsis; 2) improve public health surveillance for action; 3) minimize mortality and prevent transmission during epidemics and pandemics; and 4) prevent mortality due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) risk pathogens. Our global health interventions accelerate the development and commercialization of novel and lower-cost vaccines and monoclonal antibodies for our target populations. Our prevention efforts target the following pathogens: pneumococcus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), group B streptococcus (GBS), meningococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Given that a growing portion of deaths in young children happen before a child can be immunized, we are developing vaccines that can be delivered safely during pregnancy (maternal immunization) to protect vulnerable infants during the first months of life through antibodies transferred from their mothers. We are also focused on antimicrobial resistance as an increasing global health threat that disproportionately contributes to neonatal sepsis deaths. Guiding the prioritization of our global health interventions based on mortality estimates, our team’s surveillance work better defines the global disease burden through high quality primary mortality data, assists countries to implement promising surveillance methods such as sample registration systems and multi-pathogen serosurveillance and to integrate data from surveillance systems, and supports the WHO’s Collaborative Surveillance initiative.Your Role
The Senior Program Officer manages a portfolio of investments intended to strengthen mortality surveillance (especially sample registration systems, minimally invasive tissue sampling, and AI-enabled cause of death determination) in low- and middle-income countries. The Senior Program Officer coordinates closely with the foundation’s Africa Regional Office; the Genomics, Epidemiology, & Modeling team; the Institute for Disease Modeling; and other teams to support surveillance for better public health decision-making for both routine disease control and in emergencies. The Senior Program Officer also engages key partners in global health surveillance, coordinates with other donors to ensure investments advance common goals and standards and seeks co-funding to leverage foundation resources. We are looking for people who enjoy the challenge of working on complex and high-impact problems and collaboratively creating solutions that have the potential to improve public health around the world. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are required to build strong, positive relationships across internal teams, external partners, and grantees with agility, efficiency, and diplomacy in a dynamic environment.
